Is it worth progressing further for the French Tournament

[wintersnow341]

I manage to get the below player 24 years old and a 7 star player MR/DR for free when I manage to win 2-0 luckily against Stade Montpellier in fifth stage of the French Tournament. But I lost 2-0 in the sixth stage against Marseille as the team was really crazy strong.

I have 3 questions as I am quite new to the forum.

1. Is it worth it to try the stage 6 again as I am only left with one free try and I don't think my team will be lucky enough to beat that stage again

2. Does the game give random age for the free player and did anyone manage to get a 7* player if they manage to progress to stage 5 as I am curious about the rates.

3. For a 24 years old player, normally how many seasons can I keep him assuming I manage to progress through the next level. I am level 3 now.

Thanks in advance for your advice
